:I see girl all the time wearing crop tops with their blubbery bellies hanging out.  I don't know why they have to wear their jeans two sizes too small, it only makes it look worse.  The problem may be that they would feel fat if they bought anything in a bigger size.  I too wonder how they can look in the mirror and think it looks okay, but I guess they think they look hot!  Here is a belly top test: sit down and bend over, it your belly folds over your pants you aint got a flat stomach!  If your belly button looks like this:    -    instead of this:   o    don't even bother trying the test!

 However, I have decided that I want to start a mentor program for these girls. Not only would they sit down with another woman who's job interests them, but they would get a clothing lesson.  I am doing good for them and mankind's fragile eyes.  I am such a solution oriented person

ha! that was funny. i would be more than willing to volunteer for your program.

Well you see, when you have camo in your wedding, you don't over do it (i guess)

• The flowers were like a light orange color (actually very pretty). They were zinnias and such.


• The groom had a tux that had hunting camo around the shoulders


• The justice of the peace had camo pants, a green shirt and a camo bow tie


• The bridesmaids had emerald green silk dresses and a camo shawl.


• Bride's garter- you guessed it, camo

Where was this all held... you got it... a hunting cabin! Lordy. Good ol' Pennsyl-tucky.  I thank my parents everytime we visit for getting me out of there!

Uh, the whole Lerner's catalog.

RMAOL!!!!!!!!!!! I really hate to say this, but I could see myself attending such a wedding for them, ummm, more rural members of my family. Were you expected to wear coordinating attire for the wedding? Was it "guests also must wear camo" wedding? I only ask because after I had a gorgeous pant suit cleaned to wear to a wedding, I was informed that it was western and we were expected to also dress western (and not the good kind, this was before it was trendy & they were serious).....ummmm.....i don't own anything western. I ended up in a long black linen shoes & burberry like plaid shoes - they needed mentoring as well......

I work at wet seal and here is the story of the day...

A woman in her mid-60's with obvious plastic surgery and a body that has had about 4 babies... buying super low rise flarecut jeans 2 sizes too small! Then she made me look around the whole store for 45 minutes to find her a shirt long enough to cover the bulge She could have been so beautiful in some old lady clothes that fit her!!!

Me!  I have one!

Whilst dining on the patio at an italian joint last night (and people watching all the while ) I spotted a girl on what appeared to be on a first (and from what she was wearing I would say last) date. 

 She wore:

• A black, double-breasted faux-monkey coat


• Black flared pull-on pants, about 6 inches too short


• Black 4-inch stiletto boots, in which she could not walk

We saw them walk both into the restaurant and out, and I didn't see her unbend her knees once !

At a very nice restaurant in Venice last week there was a frightful american couple. She had on white sneakers, tshirt and "mum" jeans -- elasticized waist, pulled high. He had on a faded fishing t-shirt. One of my sartorial peeves is when people go to nice restaurants dressed like they're going to McDonalds.

I saw three major fashion crimes on my way to work today and had wished I had my camera with me.

One lady crossed the street in front of my car wearing pleated gold pants with a tapered leg, a black boxy tee shirt with the sleeves coming to about elbow length, a red plaid vest, black Birkenstocks, and a black hat that looked like a cross between a top hat and a fedora.  It was so bad.

Second lady was ummm....how shall I politely say it?  Severly obese.  And she was wearing aqua colored stretch pants pulled up to her ribs with a black tee shirt tucked in.  I couldn't get any more details because I had to look away.

Third lady could have been beautiful, but her clothes fit so poorly it just made me sad.  She was tall and pretty thin, but wearing grey pants with VPL and they hit about at her ankles.  Black socks, black shoes, and a black turtleneck (it's 90 degrees today) that hit at the top of the hip.  The proportions were just all wrong.  And the black socks and black shoes just were bad.

Okay, I'm going to hell now....
